Thanks for passing some Alfonso down to me, OMGsrsly! The whole bag smelled like… peaches, I thought, and not mango. I had to separate it from the other samples because all the plastic bags were fruitastic.

I seriously thought it was peach this entire time, though. Like peach juice crystals, or sugary peach cocktail. I agree with OMGsrsly’s tip to ice this, so I made a nice jug o’ cold brew.

I still say it’s peach and not mango. I happened to have some dried mango earlier today and the two are worlds apart. The base is also a little on the dry side. Don’t know how else to describe it.

To be honest, now that I think about it, I’ve never been a fan of peach-flavoured things even though I love fresh peaches. Peach yogurt? Gross. Peach cocktail? Eh. But FWIW, for anyone who does like their peach-flavoured drinks, this is a much healthier alternative.

Yeah, I probably should have tin foiled this one. Sorry about that!

If you go smell those small yellow mangoes, it’s quite similar. So floral.

Ah, the Adolfo ones? I’ve had those before too but I just can’t get past the peach resemblance. And don’t worry about it! It was great to try one of their teas. :)

OMGsrsly

LOL. Yeah, I guess they’re kind of peachy, aren’t they. I don’t like the texture of mango, so I rarely have it. :)
